Trial Comparison of Accuseal and Bovine Pericardial Patch During Endarterectomy
Sponsor: CAMC Health System
Summary
Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA), surgical removal of the blockage in the neck artery, is the accepted management of choice for significant blockage of the carotid artery. Previous studies showed improved perioperative outcomes and prevention of recurrent blockage by the use of the patch to close the surgical incision in the artery. The ideal patch reduces bleeding and prevents recurrent blockage.This is looking at long-term results toward improvement with the use Accuseal patch than Bovine Patch.

Comparing Accuseal Vs. Bovine Pericardial in CEA
Accuseal patch - The Goretex Company has since designed a new patch, "the Accuseal," which is marketed as decreasing the intra-operative time (i.e, having a short hemostasis time) without affecting the perioperative stroke rate. Bovine Pericardial patch - The Bovine Pericardial patch has been used for nearly two decades, since the late 1990s. However, studies based on retrospective review of data in which patients received the Bovine Pericardial patch, reported the clinical outcomes post-operative stroke, death, time to hemostasis and recurrent restenosis.
